Random Thursday Morning Thoughts

This was nutty because a McDonald's in College Station was sued for wrongful death after a couple was attacked by third parties in its parking lot. But the woman (and maybe even the man) weren't killed there. Instead they were pronounced dead after a wreck that occurred while a friend was driving them to the hospital. The case was settled three years later for an undisclosed amount while on appeal.

• So Trump thought it would be a good idea to appear before a convention of black journalists?
  

  
  
  
• It started off with a bang after a long initial question. Video.
  
  
  
  
  

  
  
• The big news is that for some reason he decided to go with the "She ain't black" campaign platform. It took him 10 whole days to get there. Keep playing that card and see how it works out for you. Video.
  
  
  
• He actually said that illegal immigrants were taking "black jobs" Again! And there of all places! Video.
• He said he would pardon those who were convicted of beating peace officers on January 6th.  He's a full blown Insurrectionist.  This stuff drives me off a cliff more than anything else. 
  
  
  
• So after it was over, how he think he did?
  
  
  
• Kamala'a response: "The American people deserve better." 
  
  
  
• Drudge's take this morning:

• More fallout at Gateway church.
  
  
  
• This occurred at the currency printing plant off of 287. She was a "disgruntled employee." 
  
  
  
  
  
  
• High schools in Keller ISD generally let seniors paint their parking spots. They'll let this one stay. And there's really no reason they shouldn't. It would be a dicey constitutional proposition to limit anything a kid does based upon its content. Plus, this isn't even remotely objectionable.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Random weirdness: A post by Skip Bayless last night.
  
  
  
• Olympic photo of the day. Turkey sent a 51 year old guy with no specialized lenses, eye cover or ear protection, and he got the silver medal
